Kappa - Japanese turtle demon. Famous for challenging people to random sumo wrestling, or pulling them underwater to drown so they can steal a magical organ (supposedly through the colon of all places).

They also keep a bowl of water in their head. I couldn't remember what happens if the water empties though. I'm told they either dry up and die or grant a wish. Neat.

I picked up a random gift card for something called SketchClub on iOS. Me and drawing on the iPhone/iPad have had a long bad history, where I've tried over and over to find a drawing app that didn't turn every action into an annoying touch screen chore. I dare say SketchClub is the first app to win me over, 90% likely because the "sketchy" brush is awesome, and is the closest thing I've felt to being able to draw with the side of a pencil in digital medium. It also supports doing some interesting things, like uploading the drawing to the SketchClub community and being able to Livestream your drawing straight from the app.

Anyways, fun for sketching. I haven't quite figured out a solid workflow for rendering anything yet.
